New Funding Available for Brent

We’re delighted to announce the continuation of our partnership with Brent Council with the launch of a new round of Love Where You Live funding.  

The Love Where You Live grant provides funding for projects that bring people together, celebrate diversity and create opportunities for everyone. The goal is to help local people develop skills, support community organisations, and work together to make Brent a stronger, more connected place. 

Starting from 4 November, community organisations, schools and residents in Brent can apply for a Love Where You Live Grant – from £1,000 to £15,000 – to bring ideas to life that build pride and connection for the local area. 

Brent Council and the Wembley Stadium Foundation are keen to fund projects that make a positive difference to children and young people. We welcome organisations working together to deliver greater benefits for local communities.   

“At Wembley Stadium Foundation, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. Love Where You Live brings that belief to life by putting funding directly into the hands of grassroots organisations making a genuine difference across Brent. 

We’re incredibly proud to continue our partnership with Brent Council for a third round of funding, building on the fantastic projects already supported. We know there are so many more brilliant ideas out there, and I’d encourage organisations of all sizes to come forward. Sometimes, a relatively small investment can make an extraordinary difference to a community.”

Who can apply? 

• Brent schools. 

• Organisations, community and voluntary groups registered in Brent with Companies House or the Charity Commission. 

• Brent residents who want to hold an event that promotes inclusion and community spirit. 

We are delighted to be building on a successful first year, which saw 54 grants awarded to organisations and individuals across Brent with a range of different projects supported across the borough. A fantastic example of the impact of last year’s funding was Destiny House’s Little Minds, Big Imaginations programme.  

The programme delivered five weeks of themed creative sessions to more than 20 children and their parents/carers from a range of cultural backgrounds. Following the sessions, 100% of families reported improved parent–child connection, and 90% of parents felt more connected to their local community. 

Applications open Wednesday 4 November and close on Monday 30 November 2026 at 11:59pm.
